OT Eat whatever you want and feed it to your family. After decades of chlorinating water, it wasn't until 1998 that sciencists warned they'd discovered a correlation between a high rate of birth defects and women who drank water from the tap. Gee, that was suprising since an August 21, 1992 article in Newsweek said science had known that for years, but had been keeping that information from the public...lobbyists ya know.. Anyway,THAT announcement was in CA, the vanguard of anything intelligent.

Most recently, For decades, power companies and official scientific entities such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the World Health Organization have been telling the public that there are almost no credible health risks from electromagnetic fields (EMFs) that emanate from power lines, power transformers and every single appliance that runs on electricity. The official public-health-agency position is that, aside from a small increased risk of childhood leukemia, consumers are perfectly safe no matter how many appliances litter their homes and offices, or how many power lines exist nearby. But a newly completed $8 million, seven-year study by the California Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF) Program has something quite different -- and quite alarming -- to say.

"To one degree or another, all three of the scientists who worked on the EMF Program are inclined to believe that electromagnetic fields (EMFs) can cause some degree of increased risk of childhood leukemia, adult brain cancer, Lou Gehrig's disease and miscarriage," says Dr. Raymond Neutra, one of the scientists who wrote the report. Neutra is chief of the Division of Environmental and Occupational Disease Control for California's Department of Health Services (DHS), which ran the study with funding provided by the state's Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).

And, then,spend three dollars on a papaya that doesn't have the nutrients of cow dung:
